No wonder our legal system is in trouble


I listened to NBC’s Meet the Press this past Sunday, the 19th, and as is the norm, there was a segment covering the - man, is it getting old - state of Paula Jones and her case.

I actually wanted to listen to the whole show but one of the guests was a man named Ed Koch. Nausea was the result of listening to his comments and that ended my viewing.

You see, Ed Koch is the ex-major of New York and, if I heard correctly, now a sitting judge. He assumed that Paula Jones was telling the truth and made every statement based on that. But, aren’t judges supposed to make decisions based on facts?

He also used the phrase “one grope” as if President Clinton actually groped Jones. Not even Jones has made that accusation. So, not only did the man make his statements based on a false premise, he also added in his own manufactured stuff.

His assumptions certainly followed the definition of ‘assume’ meaning to “make an ass out of u and me”, that is, if you took anything he said to heart.

Thus, here was a man, a sitting judge, who based his conclusions on a complete lack of proof and a bit of fantasy. And, just so he could be on network TV spouting his garbage. Is this how he does every case before him?

So, why was the man even on Meet the Press?

Hasn’t it been obvious to you viewers for the past many months, that Meet the Press is anti-Clinton? Apparently, they have ran out of intelligent people and are scraping the bottom of the barrel to dredge up any anti-Clintonite they can.
